“...this government must step down to allow Cambodia to avoid wars and losing land to the west and to the east.”
Exiled opposition leader Sam Rainsy issued on open letter Wednesday demanding that the administration of Prime Minister Hun Sen step down over his handling of the border conflict with Thailand.
If the government cannot peacefully resolve the border issue, he wrote, “this government must step down to allow Cambodia to avoid wars and losing land to the west and to the east.”
His letter came amid continued fighting on Wednesday and ahead of a reported ceasefire between Thai and Cambodian generals on the border Thursday.
Government spokesman Phay Siphan called the letter a “desire for attention” that ignored positive surveys that say many believe the country is moving in the right direction.
“Even though he does not have the support of the public, who are the Cambodian people, he still confronts [the prime minister],” Phay Siphan said.
The government is pursuing strategies to solve the border conflict with Thailand, he said, and the government is working with Vietnam to shore up border areas peacefully.
Sam Rainsy claims the government is ignoring the Paris peace agreement, which ensures Cambodia’s territorial sovereignty.
Sam Rainsy said his uprooting of markers along the Vietnamese border in 2009 was a victory. He is facing 12 years in prison sentences of a variety of charges stemming from his accusations that Cambodia has ceded land to Vietnam.
Both Vietnam and Thailand claim they have not encroached on Cambodian land.

it silly, crazy acts
Right now, Sam Rainsy becomes a mad dog running around and barking everything in front of him.
I am not Sam Rainsy Party 's member but I fully support Sam Rainsy calling the so-called ( yuon ) CPP government to step down before it is too lake like Champa, Khampuchea-Krom and Lao.
While most political analysis as well as Western media have said that the reason behind the recent conflict between Khmer and Thai troops because of hawkish generals in Thailand are colluding with nationalists to foment a crisis that could force the cancellation of elections there, expected by July, and sideline the powerful opposition to preserve the royalist establishment's hold on power. BUT a fugitive Sam Rainsy is shameless called Cambodian PM Hun Sen to step down over his handling of the border conflict with Thailand (sic). It confirmed that Sam Rainsy is so desparated, run out of idea and will do everything to destroy Cambodia after knowing that his political career is dead in the water.
Khmer in Sydney CBD
To 2:04 PM
Protecting Khmer sovereignty is fully support by most Khmer home and abroad.
But Khmer have had sovereignty loosing to both to the west and the east but Khmer has lost a lot of land to the east then the west for instance yuon Hanoi has posting illegal 375 border post along Khmer-Yuon boder.
Please look at Champa country , look at Khmaput-Krom and Lao.
